That's why Farhan kept Hrithik's Cameo in Don 2 😍 It was a treat to watch him transform into Srk when he removes the mask.

[@inamullahexploretourism759]

Agreed

[@sahilvarma9553]

Anurag didn't say about the logistics, he spoke about the fact "That there is a lot pressure catering to the expectations of the fans of SRK and he (Anurag) cannot bear that pressure"

[@aky84]

Incorrect research. Anurag Kashyap did not speak about logistics or entourage that comes with a star like SRK. He categorically mentioned that there is a weight of expectations that comes with such stars that the fans wants to see on screen and he is not sure if he would be able to do justice to it. Someone from the research team needs to cross check this and correct it. This is precisely why people and public figures stop trusting media or media like outlets.

How smoothly he diverted from why Ranveer for don 3.. 😏

[@lonewolfe2502]

Uski marzi. Tumhe dekhni hai toh dekho warna mat dekho. I remember really well that even When he took SRK for Don, people are asking the same question.

[@ankitkacker]

@@lonewolfe2502 just a small correction here, at that time no one doubted his choice for srk but question him why he is making don again. Coz whole fraternity knows only srk can step into shoes of bigb. But sorry to say Ranveer is nowhere close to being don or Lin the likes of srk and bigb. We still don’t doubt Farhan making skill it’s just the choice of actor this time which is not justified at all.

[@lonewolfe2502]

@@ankitkacker You're saying that now. But even that time people said that srk can't step into shoes of big B. Infact people never even saw him as an action hero that time. They always saw him as romantic hero. & don't forget that people also underestimated Ranveer. But this is the same actor who proved people wrong again and again from Ramleela to bajirao mastani & many other films. I think he got that swag and charisma. Problem with people is that they expect actor to be like a previous actor. They can't understand that other actor might bring something new with him for that role.

[@soumenmaji673]

Ranveer Singh don really 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

[@lonewolfe2502]

@@user-kf6iy9df4y Stardom might have something to do with privacy or not having too much information about celebrity. But charisma, charm or dashing personality has nothing to do with that. Srk is not charming or charasmatic because people don't know enough things about his life. Srk is charming and charasmatic because he's witty, self aware, well red, well spoken, humble, savage, can take a joke on himself, doesn't take himself too much seriously and dozens of others quality. & His Acting performances add more points to those qualities since all those qualities won't work if you're bad at something which you're supposed to be. Today's actors give such excuses. But they need to ask themselves that have they proved themselves as an actor first, forget about other qualities I mentioned. They don't even have those qualities. I know that Ranveer neither have such charm or charisma like SRK, nor he has a dashing personality of angry young man like Amitabh. But he has confidence & hunger to be the best in whatever character he plays.

[@roshanverghese5801]

You shd have asked why he didn't cast srk in don3 ?

[@logicalfacts6585]

SRK rejected don3........He didn't want to do that

[@spandandas2521]

Correct

[@insaneroute]

Farhan is to be responsible for SRK not doing DON 3. When SRK was not having a good run at box office, all those years , Farhan never thought of reaching out to him for DON 3 suddenly, when his movies doing record breaking numbers (Pathan & Jawan) he reached out to him for Don3. Although, its a heartbreak for all of us (SRK & Farhan fans) we all are sad for Don 3 💔

[@user-zn3rp7yy7e]

Well people saying SRK declined DON -3, there is background to it. When SRK was was having flops he reached out to Farhan for DON-3 but Farhan kept delaying it and started working on Fukrey, he didn't want to make it with SRK as SRK movies weren't working well. Only after Pathan he reached out to SRK, and SRK denied it.
